Measuring Meiotic Crossovers via Multi-Locus Genotyping of Single Pollen Grains in Barley.

The detection of meiotic crossovers in crop plants currently relies on scoring DNA markers in a segregating population or cytological visualization. We investigated the feasibility of using flow-sorted haploid nuclei, Phi29 DNA polymerase-based whole-genome-amplification (WGA) and multi-locus KASP-g...
